TKO Tips

Best-practices when photographing for TKO.

Backgrounds

  • Recommended – Unlit White Westcott Fleece – 5×10 or 9×20
  • Avoid Black Backgrounds – Some of the background will not cutout

Lighting

  • Light the subject & not the background so the white turns to a light gray

Props

  • Handheld props such as basketballs, soccer balls, etc. will typically cutout correctly
  • Props not attached to the subject will be cutout
  • Props such as posing tables, benches, barstools, ladders, pedestals, fences, etc. will not remain intact after the cutout and should be avoided
  • Props with very fine detail such as tennis racket faces or similar should be held within the outline of the subject to ensure it remains intact.
